Been told there is one at back of engine, that prone to leaking. Apparently vauxhall made an upgrade to this part, anyone know where it can be bought, or where it goes?

It's a plastic pipe that runs along the top of the block. You can buy metal replacements but tbh unless you've got the engine out the car there's not much point.

Sure it's not a core plug that's fucked?

Core plugs on the back of the block are a huge job if the engine's in the car.

Bit of a weird question to ask mate, all depends on the engine and how old it is, what condition it's in, etc. Hoses aren't exactly things that regularly fuck up the way you mean.
